Study Finds ChatGPT’s Comedy on Par with Humans

Are you ready to have a good laugh? Well, according to a new study, ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence program, might just be able to crack jokes at a level that is “equally funny or funnier than human-produced” humor. Yes, you read that right!

The study, which was recently published, aimed to test the comedic abilities of ChatGPT by prompting it to write satirical headlines that could be featured in “The Onion.” The results? Surprisingly, ChatGPT was found to be as funny as human non-professional comedians, also known as “laypeople.”

In a series of tests where human participants were asked to rate the funniness of jokes without knowing whether they were produced by a human or ChatGPT, the AI-generated jokes were rated as equally funny or even funnier than human-produced jokes. It seems like ChatGPT has some serious comedic chops!

To put ChatGPT’s humor to the test, The Post asked the latest and most advanced model, ChatGPT 4o, a series of questions about its comedic abilities. The responses were a mix of eye-rolling puns and dad jokes that might just make you chuckle.

But let’s be real, ChatGPT might not be headlining at a comedy club anytime soon. While its jokes might elicit a giggle or two, they are more likely to get booed off the stage than receive a standing ovation. So, ChatGPT, we’re not laughing with you, we’re laughing at you.

In conclusion, while ChatGPT might not be the next big stand-up comedian, it’s fascinating to see how far artificial intelligence has come in terms of understanding and replicating humor. Who knows, maybe one day ChatGPT will have us rolling on the floor with laughter. But for now, let’s enjoy its quirky attempts at comedy and appreciate the unique blend of wit and whimsy that AI brings to the table.
